MAY 2015 ON WAY TO DRS AND THEN OIL CHANGE AT PEP BOYS. HEAD GASKET ON CAR BLEW FOR 2ND TIME (6000 AND 2 YEARS, SINCE FIRST TIME). DRIVING ON FREEWAY PROCEEDED TO OVERPASS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS EXTREMELY HIGH, CURVED OVERPASS, BRIDGING THE 23 TO THE 101, DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE CAR "FARTED", CLOUD OUT BACK SIDE AND SPEED JUST DROPPED. COASTED DOWN OTHER SIDE AND CAR "LIMPED ALONG SLOWLY" FROM THERE. MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. PRAYED NO ONE WOULD HIT ME AND SEND ME FLYING OFF THE CONNECTOR TO FREEWAY BELOW. I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH CAR PRIOR, RUNNING BEAUTIFUL. TOOK THE GRADES, HIGHWAY, PASSING STREET DRIVING. NO PROBLEM. BACK TO ISSUE: LUCKILY, NO CARS IMMED. BEHIND ME AND THOSE COMING WERE FAR ENOUGH TO AND COULD USE L LANE. WAS ABLE TO GET OFF FREEWAY. CAR,DIED AT EVERY LIGHT, BUT MADE IT SLOWLY, TO PEP BOYS. THEY SAID HEAD GASKET BLEW. PLEASE NOTE THIS WAS A RELATIVELY NEWLY REPAIRED HEAD GASKET. REPAIRED 2/16/2013 DONE @ 160,227. WAS GIFTED CAR IN NOV 2013 BY FAMILY MEM...

MY HEAD GASKET IS BLOWN. THE DUMMY PANEL DID NOT SHOW OVERHEATING BUT STEAM OR SMOKE WAS VISIBLE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. COOLANT WAS LEAKING WHEN PARKED BUT THE RADIATOR IS FULL. TOYOTA SAYS MY VIN SAYS IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN NOV 1995 MY REGISTRATION PAPERWORK SAYS IT WAS FIRST REGISTERED OCTOBER 1995. AS WITH MANY OTHERS, TOYOTA SAYS IT IS NOT INCLUDED. HOW MANY REPORTS MUST BE MADE BEFORE IT IS A COVERED PROBLEM? OR IS THERE NO CHANGE TIL LAWYERS GET INVOLVED? *TR
